A day in the life...

Cold is my heart in the morning
fears foretell a day of despair
dread is a passenger on the long drive
mumbling subliminal doom on the way there

Time flexes and stretches in traffic
patience contracts and withers black
anger grows to fill the void
of thought tortured on my minds rack

Arrive in an office of strangers
to sit voluntarily in my iron maiden
press a button to radiate my brain
suffer the ignominy of imagination fading

live the lie for a longest day
die a little as the time slips like mollasses
hold onto a slight dim spark of hope
before home to hide in the glasses
